"Nature’s Way to a Hairball-Free Day"
Grass benefits cats with hairballs by acting as a natural laxative or emetic, helping to move hairballs and other indigestible materials out of the digestive tract, either by causing vomiting or by promoting regular bowel movements. This aids in preventing fur from building up, reducing constipation, and keeping the cat's digestive system healthy.
How grass Help in Hairball
Laxative Effect:
If the grass doesn't induce vomiting, the fiber in the grass provides roughage that helps move hair and other waste through the digestive tract, leading to regular bowel movements and a healthy gut.
Emetic Action:
Grass can irritate the stomach lining, which helps a cat to vomit and bring up hairballs, a process often followed by the cat eating the grass.
Why Cat Eat Grass
Natural Instinct:
Eating grass is a natural behavior for cats, stemming from their wild ancestors who would consume entire prey, including hair, bones, and other materials that required vomiting to expel.
Digestion Aid:
Even well-fed cats benefit from the fiber in grass, as it helps with overall digestion and elimination.
Nutritional Value:
Grass provides essential vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and chlorophyll, which can contribute to a cat's overall health and well-being.
